Surviving Winter Weather If You Are Stranded, Things To Have Handy

More snow is on the way, and sometimes people have to travel in it. If you are on the road, or live in a rural area, here are a few things you may want to remember.

Plan your travel and check the latest weather reports to avoid the storm! Here’s a great website to check road conditions click here and tell people the way you will be driving so that if you don’t arrive, they know where to send searchers.

Run the motor Run the Motor Sparingly: About ten minutes each hour for heat:

Open windows a little for fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Make sure the exhaust pipe is not blocked.

Have some clothesline……..If a person must get out of a vehicle to remove snow from around the exhaust pipe or for any other reason, they should tie the clothsline around their waist and to the door handle, steering wheel (door will usually close on it), or some other strong place on the vehicle. Then if they fall down or slide down a bank or ditch, they can use the rope to find their way back to the vehicle.

Make yourself visible to rescuers:

-turn on the dome light at night when running the engine.

-tie a colored cloth (preferably red) to your antenna or door.

-raise the hood indicating trouble after snow stops falling.

Exercise from time to time by vigorously moving arms, legs, fingers, and toes to keep blood circulating and to keep warm.
